Comment:I am on pack 2 of this after switching from YAZ because of its side effects. More than anything is the mood swings. As I've read through some of the reviews I too can't stand myself at times. Crying for no reason..then getting upset at myself because I don't know why I'm crying. Then angry for crying. Then upset. Then I end up being ok the next day and think what the heck was yesterday??? The littlest things set me off and I feel paranoid over nothing. I want to be normal. I'm done with birth control pills. I cannot handle the horomones. I will find other methods to not get preggers for the next 6 months...then after I have my final baby next year I'm getting fixed =) The next time I will have to think about bcontrol pills is with my 2 daughters..and hopefully that is a lonnnnnggggggggggg time away =)
Good luck ladies. Hormones suck.Hide Full Comment

Comment: I just recently started Tri-Sprintec and I am in the middle of my second pack. During the first month I started my period in the 3rd week and it lasted until the end of my pack (2 weeks). My period has never lasted nearly this long. I just started my 3rd week of my second pack and also started my period. I'm afraid its going to last 2 weeks again. Hopefully my cycle will be back on track soon.

Comment: This birth control works, but sometimes I forget and when I have to take two it makes me nauseated at it gives me cramps. It makes my cycle regular, which I LOVE. The bad thing is that when I'm on my period when taking this pill I get really emotional, depressed, don't want to do anything and have suicidal thoughts.

Comment: Love Love Love this birth control. I have been using it for a year now. My skin has looked better in the past year than ever before. My periods are normal, no cramping. No emotional side effects at all, no unexplainable crying. My sex drive is up to par. No weight gain at all in a year, I've either lost or stayed the same.

Comment:I'm 18 and I am on my second pack of Tri-Sprintec (halfway with week 3). I've never had any type of birth control so this is a definite first for me. The first month I had absolutely no problems, but once the second pack came I started to get nausea, and some random cramping in the stomach. Sometimes I would feel sick everytime I would try to eat too. My breasts also became tender and a little swollen. Once I saw my breasts doing that, I got really scared that I was pregnant, and I still am a little. My partner and I have had sex with a condom the whole first month, but the second week of the 2nd pack we had sex without a condom twice. Since that happened around when I started getting the symptoms, I keep switching back and forth if I'm pregnant or not...and It's the holidays and I really don't want to be stressing about this right now. Should I be worried? Or is it just the pill?...I'm pretty sure it's just the pill. As you can see this pilled has also caused stress. But maybe that's just me because I worry easily. Overall, so far I'm satisfied.Hide Full Comment
